Last weeks bird.
This one is a Baltimore Oriole. It's one of the 10 North American species of Oriole, and one of the most brilliantly coloured. We live right at the end of their northern territory, so they're uncommon, but not terribly rare. They love oranges, and if there are some around, leave a halved orange by your bird feeder to attract them. The female is much duller in colour, but still quite orange. She is also much less black, and more uniformely coloured. They build little hanging nests that are teardrop shaped.
